Governor and Lady Wilson; or would he like to have a slightly expanded version by inviting the Chief Secretary, the Senior British Trade Commissioner and the Senior British

Representative at UKREP JLG, together with their wives?

3. I do not think that there is any need to trouble the

Minister about the various other points raised in the

Governor's telegrams. Lord Caithness indicated at our

meeting last week that he would be content for the Governor

to invite two or three Senior Officers of the Gurkha Field

Force, with wives, to lunch on Sunday 16 September.

4. On a separate point, you will see, because of

accommodation difficulties, it will be necessary for me to

base myself at Government House for the weekend rather than

at Fanling Lodge. I hope that the Minister would not mind this. Should he require my presence at any time over the

weekend, I would of course make myself immediately

available; and I would in any case propose to join the party

for at least some of the weekend activities contained in the

programme.
